Quoting Anonymous:

Quoting OkieOBRN:

Yep! I couldn't imagine!

Quoting Anonymous:

That's some sick shit.

Quoting OkieOBRN:

Mildly off topic..but did u know in the past labor nurses were only allowed ti check a cervix ANALLY? seriously..it was thought too much bacteria could be introduced vaginally and the anal mucosa protected against that. Crazy right!?

Quoting Anonymous:

No haha I just wanna know if I'm dilated.

Quoting OkieOBRN:

Ok.. make sure there is zero dirt under his nails or around his cuticles... scrub. Then cut his nails super short..

Umm the weirdo is a trained professional who knows what hes doing... You dont. Do you not have an OB? If you do, Im sure he will have his hand up there more than once, same with nurses. Do you really think theres more of a chance of them introducing bacteria than you doing it?? Do you live in a sterile house?

Quoting Liyoness:

Every woman should be 'trained' to check her own cervix. Why would you want some weirdo with a rubber glove to introduce bacteria instead?

It's sad that so many think it's dangerous and unnecessary to feel how dialated you are. Most of the home birth stories I've read have mothers checking their own cervix and even breaking their own water. We really need to get back in touch with our bodies. I'd google it.
